// como funciona

Como funciona

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide whether you need speech in one of the pretrained model's languages, or a fine-tuned model for your own voice or language data.

  2. Get the project

    Clone the repository and install system packages such as libsndfile1, espeak-ng, and ffmpeg, then create a virtual environment and install the Python requirements.

  3. Install and configure

    For custom work, prepare a training recipe by registering your dataset's audio paths and transcripts and copying a fine-tuning example.

  4. Run your first task

    Run inference through the ToucanTTS interface or the provided reader scripts, or launch a training pipeline run for your recipe.

Por que as pessoas gostam tanto

Massively multilingual synthesis

Pretrained ToucanTTS models cover over 7,000 languages, with a published list of supported languages and a free hosted demo on Hugging Face.

Controllable output

Scaling parameters let you adjust duration, pitch-curve variance, and energy-curve variance at inference time.

Pretrained models on demand

Models download automatically when needed, and the interface supports setting language and speaker embeddings.

Fine-tuning recipes

Example pipelines for single-dataset and multilingual fine-tuning show how to adapt the model to new data with modest compute.

Full training pipelines

Train from scratch or fine-tune with the training pipeline script, including multi-GPU runs via torchrun and optional Weights and Biases logging.

Data quality tooling

A scorer utility can find and remove outlier samples with unusually high loss from a dataset cache before training.

Execute você mesmo

  1. Clone and install requirements

    Install the listed system packages on Linux first, then set up the virtual environment.

    git clone https://github.com/DigitalPhonetics/IMS-Toucan.git
    cd IMS-Toucan
    pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
  2. Run inference with the pretrained model

    The text-to-file reader script synthesises a list of sentences into one audio file; pretrained weights download automatically.

    python run_text_to_file_reader.py # see README inference section for interface options
  3. Train or fine-tune a model

    After preparing a recipe, launch the training pipeline; add --finetune to start from a checkpoint.

    python run_training_pipeline.py --finetune

// perguntas frequentes

Perguntas frequentes

Who maintains it?

It is developed and maintained by researchers at the Institute for Natural Language Processing, University of Stuttgart, published under DigitalPhonetics.

Is it free to use?

Yes. The code and models are Apache-2.0 licensed and free, and the hosted Hugging Face demo is free to try.

Does it need a paid API key?

No API key is needed; models run locally in PyTorch and download from Hugging Face automatically.

How does it compare to a well-known alternative?

Commercial TTS APIs cover far fewer languages and charge per character; Toucan focuses on extreme multilingual coverage and trainability, at the cost of running and managing the model yourself.

How do I get started?

Clone the repo, install the system packages and requirements.txt, then run the text-to-file reader script; the pretrained model downloads on first use.
